Venus in wax

I've been thinking about the masters and how my wax technique will translate. In most cases, not well, but I love the Bottecelli "Birth of Venus" so I wanted to give it a whirl. I felt that the wax would work for sure in the Venus' hair, and outline, but that's all.

It turned out that the hair did turn out very well, although I'm not as happy with the body. I made sure the face was painted as is, and I think, if I was to do it again, I'd just do the head and shoulders of the Venus, on a large canvas, instead of the whole body as well. Maybe next time.
